day on wall street, the u.s. government steps in to protect a failed bank, promising depositors they won't lose a penny. one film won everything everywhere all at once at this year's oscar awards. plus already-flooded parts of california bracing for yet another powerful storm. >> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with rosemary church. good to have you with us. we begin here in the united states where the biden administration is stepping in to contain the fallout from the sudden collapse of silicon valley bank. authorities say customers will have access to all their money starting monday morning. the president also promised to hold those responsible for the bank's failure fully accountable. he will speak about the issue in the coming hours. regulators also shot down another regional institution, signature bank, fearing it was

also on the brink of collapse. cnn's arlette saenz has more. >> reporter: the biden administration took extraordinary steps sunday to ensure that all depositors working with silicon valley bank would be made hole, guaranteeing they would have access to their money starting monday. the announcement came in a joint statement between the treasury department, fdic, and federal reserve where they also revealed the closure of a second bank, signature bank, which is based in new york. officials said that the same protections being offered to depositors with silicon valley bank would also be extended to that bank as well. it came at a time where there were many questions for depositors about whether they would have access to their money. the fdic only previously insured up to $250,000 being held at the bank, and the majority of customers had more money than that in their accounts. ultimately, this move will ensure that all depositors will be able to access their money at a time when there were questions

about how people would run their businesses and also how they would meet payroll heading into this week. federal officials worked around the clock over the weekend trying to find some resolution to the sudden collapse of silicon valley bank. one avenue that was also being pursued was trying to find a private buyer to purchase the assets of silicon valley bank. treasury officials said they were evaluating those bids but ultimately decided to move quickly as they were watching the situation quickly unfold and they wanted to offer some assurances to those customers who had been working with silicon valley bank. treasury secretary janet yellen said earlier on sunday that there would not be a wide-scale, large bailout of the bank similar to what was seen during the 2008 financial crisis. treasury officials pushed back on the idea that this was a bailout, saying that the burt will not be borne by the taxp taxpayers, and also noting that shareholders and senior management would not be protected by these new rules.

ultimately, the white house and the biden administration has tried to stress that they believe that the banking system in this country is resilient in part due to those reforms put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. president biden told reporters as he was traveling back from delaware on sunday that he would talk about this issue on monday morning as his white house is trying to ensure that there are not more stresses put on the u.s. banking system and the u.s. economy writ large. arlette saenz, cnn, the white house. >> cnn economics and political commentator katherine ramphill spoke to us earlier about why the administration's scramble over the weekend to contain the f fallout from the bank's stunning collapse. >> there were a number of banks that saw stock prices tank friday as a result of concerns over silicon valley bank. people worried, it happened there, it can happen here as

well. reports of people pulling their money out of other comparable, mid to large-sized regional banks that didn't necessarily exhibit any signs of stress prior to all of this. it's this sort of contagion, this financial panic contagion, which is why, precisely why the administration and the federal reserve were keen on making sure that they stopped the panic here before it spread to other financial institutions. >> investors seem to be reassured by what they're hearing from washington. we're looking at the futures. there you see the dow futures up more than 1%. the nasdaq futures adding nearly 2%. we'll keep a close eye on those numbers. another atmospheric river is expected to hit the u.s. state of california in the coming hours, just days after parts of the central coast were battered by storms and flooding. but there is a silver lining. after months of drought,

california's water supply is rebounding. meteorologist derek van dam has the latest. >> this is truly a wonderful sight for residents of california. the orville spillway releasing water for the first time since 2019, signifying to the millions of residents that relief is on the way. this water trickles down into other reservoirs and lakes, helhelp helping beef up the water supply. this atmospheric event dumped over a foot of rain in the highest elevations of california. >> helping put in a lot of much-needed water into these reservoirs. oroville at 115% of its historical average. it is 200 feet above the historic record low set in 2021. look what it's doing to the snowpack across the state. over 200% of average right now in the southern sierra. we're at 244% of average. just incredible. this is the scene coming out of

mammoth mountain. complete homes buried under snow. guess what, there's more snow to come. we have yet another atmospheric river event. i believe we're at number 11 now, right? that will start to oscillate this fire hose of water from north to south monday into tuesday, picking up in intensity throughout the course of that storm system, and eventually reaching los angeles and ventura county as well. flood watches impacting over 17 million americans. that includes sacramento, san francisco, just outside of l.a., and we'll be measuring the snowfall in feet again for the southern sierras with the potential for over a half foot of rain for some of those sierra nevada foothills with 2 to 4 inches of rainfall anticipated across the central coast. we're going to monitor for the potential of localized flash flooding, weather prediction center picking up on that moderate risk. that's a level 3 of 4 for both monday and tuesday, moving south with time. you can see the eradication of drought across the state as well, quite a difference from

two months ago. back to you. >> thanks for that. cyclone freddie made landfall in mozambique for the second time in weeks on sunday. the storm battered the southern african nation with torrential rain, breaking records for duration and strength. last month the storm killed at least 27 people in mozambique and madagascar and impacted more than 170,000 people. this time experts say more than 500,000 people are at risk. freddie first developed in early february off northwest australia. it has since tracked thousands of miles across the southern indian ocean. the sci-fi adventure film "everything everywhere all at once" dominated the 95th academy awards sunday night, winning in seven categories out of 11 total nominations. it won best film, and its star, michelle yeoh, made history becoming the first asian woman to win best actress.

costar day wee kwan won best supporting actor, his first academy award nomination. it was also the first for jamie lee curtis, who won best supporting actress. the only major category "everything everywhere" didn't dominate was best lead actor. this award went to brendan fraser for his portraying of an overweight gay father in "the whale." kristie lu stout joins us from hong kong. let's talk about the oscar-winning movie "everything everywhere all at once," the most-nominated film, winning seven oscars, creating a banner year for asian actors and filmmakers. how significant is this, and what has the reaction been across asia? >> you know, this is massive, rosemary. and there is just tremendous reaction across asia, here in hong kong, to malaysia, watching scenes from an oscar-viewing party in kuala lumpur. michelle yeoh's mother was there

celebrating her daughter's incredible achievement as well as this historic moment for malaysia. michelle yeoh becoming the first asian woman, the first malaysia-born performer, to win best actress at the academy awards. her surreal sci-fi movie, "everything everywhere all at once," led the pack with 11 nominations, ultimately taking home seven statuettes. we have the full list, winning everything from best picture, best directing, to best actress. all those accolades there. michelle yeoh, during her acceptance speech, really approved that she is a superhero in terms of both asian representation as well as offering a message for women in their prime, women of a certain age. let's bring up her comments. this is what michelle yeoh said. "for all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this," she said, holding the statue, "this is a beacon of possibilities, this is proof dreams come true."

she goes on, "ladies, don't let anyone tell you you're past your prime." michelle yeoh was born in malaysia. she spent many years here in hong kong proving that she is a very capable martial artist and actress and actor who would perform her own stunts before heading to hollywood. we need to shine a spotlight on her costar, day way kwan, the vietnamese american actor who won best supporting actor in "everything everywhere all at once." he was a beloved child actor in the 1980s. you remember him from "indiana jones" playing short round, "the goonies" as well. he spent decades behind the scenes. he is also a refugee, born in saigon. his family moved to los angeles in 1979. after fleeing vietnam after the war, they spent time in hong kong in a refugee camp. he cited that experience in his oscar speech. let's bring that up for you. this is what he said. "my journey started on a boat.

i spent a year in a refugee camp. they say stories like this only happen in the movies. i cannot believe this is happening to me. this is the american dream." rosemary, that was an incredible speech, one of many in an incredible night, especially for asian representation in hollywood. >> yeah, his and others, incredible backstory to that, too. kristie lu stout, many thanks, joining us live from hong kong. sandra rametty is host of the podcast "total hollywood." he joins us live from los angeles. let's take a look at the winners and losers of the 95th academy awards and the movie as we've discussed, "everything everywhere all at once" dominated with seven wins. best picture, best actress, best director, best supporting actor and actress, best original screenplay, best editing. what is it about this film that has everyone in total awe?

>> well, it's not your traditional best picture oscar winner, but the clues were all there. if we look at the winners in recent years -- "parasite," "coda." now there are 10,000 oscar voters. the pool is much larger. they seem to be favoring independent, eccentric, quirky choices rather than the traditional blockbuster. and when you think about voters, much like us critics who see 300 movies a year, you're always looking for something different. and this manic, mad metaverse movie really, you know -- really was something so unusual and different. and hollywood fell in love with it. >> yeah, you're right. i think for a lot of us, we are looking for something new and interesting. we're getting bored with the hollywood blockbuster, right? so best actor award went to brendan fraser for his role in "the whale" after a long and

difficult journey for him back to acting. he was up against the likes of austin butler in "elvis," colin farrell and others. your reaction to his win? >> well, that was real suspense because it was 50/50. they had split the awards going into this. and so, yes, austin butler, a compelling narrative. bren fan frasier, the great hollywood survivor story. he, like the other three winners of the actors tonight, have a really inspirational story. the message is the same -- don't give up. acting careers are a real roller coaster. and now he's back at the peak again. interestingly, he might be back at the oscars next year. his next film is, "killers of the flower moon" with leonardo dicaprio and martin scorsese. how about that, maybe he'll do a double. >> we'll see. what about the losers? who got snubbed that you think should have walked away with an oscar sunday night? >> well, i mean, a lot of people got snubbed.

i mean, "tar," "the fabelmans," "the banshees of inanybody cher rin." all came in with high expectations but leave with a zero on the scorecard. and i'm particularly sorry for austin butler. i thought that everybody has their own idea of elvis, whether it's the cool '68 comeback special or the guy who marries you in vegas. that was such a challenge for austin butler, where everyone has their own idea of a character, to embody it so well. he's in "dune 2" next, so look for a brendan fraser/austin butler rematch this time next year. >> i found his elvis compelling, extraordinary. i was so absorbed by it. >> he's become the character in real life. >> he really has. he hasn't let it go. he's got a really good singing voice. a very convincing elvis. how about the ceremony overall? what did you think? best and worst moments?

>> i think the overall tone was elegant and inspirational. it was very -- unimpressed by jimmy kimmel as a host. i'm a fan of the oscars having a host, bit he seemed ageist to me tonight, especially in an area of inclusion. when he's talking about, oh, judd hirsch, he's 88 next week. that's not really the tone you want to send. wasn't impressed by him. i was very impressed by the speeches. they really showed you that hollywood magic, hollywood careers, are all about never giving up on your dreams. that was very much the theme of the evening. and the oscars, which have struggled for years and have been quite frankly rubbish, was actually a really good one tonight. i shed a couple of tears at points. >> there you go, wonderful. that's a great roundup. sandro monetti, appreciate you

being on. >> congratulations to cnn as well. >> the document tear "navalny" from cnn films and hbo max won the oscar for best documentary feature. it explores the plot to kill russian opposition leader alexei navalny. it documents the methodical investigation by journalist group belling cat and cnn chief international correspondent clarissa ward to unmask nav navalny's would-be killers. navalny is currently serving a nine-year term at a maximum security prison east of moscow. congratulations on all those involved. still to come, the head of the wagner group is acknowledging a very tough situation in the city of bakhmut where he says ukrainian forces are putting up a fierce fight. we'll have the latest just ahead. plus xi jinping is vowing to modernize china's military and safeguard the country's security as the national people's congress wraps up.

the head of the russian mercenary group wagner is admitting that ukrainian forces are fiercely fighting to keep control of the eastern city of bakhmut. that comment from yevgeny pegojin comes as ukraine says russian forces are keeping up their assault on the battered city. ukrainians fighting for every meter. meantime, one oouben army commander says logistical routes in and out of the city are still functioning, meaning it's possible to transport ammunition and reinforcements. and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says his forces are inflicting heavy losses. >> translator: in less than a week, starting from march 6th, we managed to kill more than 1,100 enemy soldiers in the bakhmut sector alone, which is russia's irreversible loss, the loss right there near bakhmut. >> cnn's melissa bell has been

following developments and has the latest now from kharkiv. >> reporter: the major russian assault on bakhmut continues, say ukrainian military authorities who vowed to continue fighting to try and hold the center of the besieged city. this is some new footage emerging from battles over the course of the weekend that really show combat that has cost both sides so very many men. the ukrainian authorities also speaking of fresh attacks on a city to the northwest of bakhmut, a city which has seen missile and rocket attacks on critical infrastructure. this is something ukrainian authorities had predicted might happen yet and that it might be the next major urban target of russian forces. it comes even as we get fresh news from ukrainian authorities about the fate of a young soldier who had been seen in a chilling video that emerged last week that showed him saying "glory to ukraine" even before

he was gunned down by russian soldiers. initially, ukrainian authorities had identified the soldier as timothy shadura. in fact, they now say it was a young sniper, alexander matievskiy. that's important because we understand ukrainian authorities intend to make this young soldier's death something of a symbol, given the brutality with which he was executed in complete contradiction to the normal treatment of prisoners of war. melissa bell, cnn, kharkiv. north korea used a submarine to launch two strategic cruise missiles sunday, according to state media. kcna says the missiles were fired from waters to the east of the korean peninsula and flew for more than an hour before precisely hitting a target. north korea's military says the drill confirmed the reliability of the weapons system. pyongyang also says it will take

the toughest counter action as south korea and the u.s. kick off joint military exercises today. in beijing, the national people's congress has wrapped up its annual session with chinese leader xi jinping consolidating his grip on power. in the first speech of his unprecedented third presidential term, mr. xi vowed to build the country's army into a, "great wall of steel" and reunite taiwan with the motherland. cnn's steven jiang joins us live from beijing. strong words from president xi on his country's army and reuniting taiwan with china. talk about this and of course the significance of beijing brokering a deal between iran and saudi arabia and what that signals about china's place in the world right now. >> yeah, rosemary in terms of xi jinping's speech, he stuck to the usual talking points. obviously the taiwan line

getting the longest applause, as you would imagine. the event actually was more closely monitored by many china watchers, the debut performance by his new premier, the number two official, li qiang. he was known to be a close ally and protege of xi jinping, and to be the communist party boss of shanghai, who oversaw that city's brutal two-month covid lockdown. doing his press conference, li qiang reminded people several that for years he ran some of the country's most economically diverse and advanced regions, including shanghai, but some of its neighboring provinces. before the pandemic, he was often seen as one of the more pragmatic and business-friendly provincial leaders. he was obviously trying to reassure a global audience now that he's been tasked running the world's second-largest economy with no national governance experience at a time when this economy is facing

strong headwinds, both domestically and internationally. but the challenge here, of course, is this is now very much a one-man show in china and xi jinping's agenda is very much still reasserting the party's dominance in every aspect of chinese society, including the economy if and how li qiang is going to use his closer to the top leaders who change or tweak the policy, that remains to be seen. china brokered a deal between saudi arabia and iran, considered a major diplomatic coup by beijing. officials and state media here have made sure the world knows bill. some analysts obviously have tried to frame this in the context of china trying to reassure its economic interests in the region, given china is one of the biggest energy consumers and importing a lot of oil in the region. it is worth noting it's a sign of china trying to go beyond its trade and energy flows in the region, trying to increase its

geopolitical influence, even though they insist this is not meant to fill any power gap, obviously a reference to the united states. >> steven gjiang, thank you. an attempt to reach the united states ends in tragedy near the san diego shore. authorities suspect human traffickers are to blame. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i lovove to do. i volunteer with thehe medical reserve corp. as lonong as you can make an impact, why stop? avoiding triggers but can't keep migraines away? qulipta® can help prevent migraines. you can't always prevent what's gng on outside... that's why qulipta® helps what's goingn inside. qulia® gets right to work.

>> reporter: authorities are calling this a tragedy and believe that a criminal organization is responsible for this. they received a 911 call at around 11:30 saturday night. they say between 11:30 and midnight, officers responded to black beach in san diego. bit the time they arrived, they did not find the caller, they did not find any survivors in the water, but they were searching. for the first hour or so, trying to find survivors. afterwards they decided to call it a recovery operation. they searched about five hours and were not able to find any survivors. they recovered eight bodies, and that's even after they continued searching on sunday. officials saying that the search was extremely difficult because it was pitch black on saturday night. they say that there are these sand bars in the area, and so you may think that you're able to walk out of the water but there are also these holes. once you step into these holes,

you get essentially carried away by strong currents that pull you back into the ocean. officials saying they tried to search by air, but even night vision goggles weren't able to see anything. they also announced that they found some life jackets in the area, but these life jackets were essentially washed up on shore and say that the bodies they recovered did not have any life jackets on. but what they're also saying is that the people responsible for all of this are not thinking about safety. here's what authorities said. >> this is not necessarily people trying to find a better life. this is part of a trans national criminal organization effort to smuggle people into the united states. these people are often labor trafficked and sex trafficked when they arrive. >> this is the -- one of the worst maritime smuggling tragedies that i can think of in california. certainly here in the city of san diego. >> reporter: customs and border protection also are looking into

this. they say they work with mexican officials, and they are always trying to identify the criminal organizations that are responsible for all of this. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. we are getting new details about the fate of three missing americans in mexico. according to a local commission on missing people in the mexican state of nueva leone, martisa, her sister marina, and friend dora sains disappeared in the mexican town of chine in february. a poster from the commission says the women were driving a green 1996 chevy silverado. the women were reportedly headed to the city of monta morelos to sell clothes at a flea market when they made a wrong turn, according to a source in the local attorney general's office. the louisiana signal they

>> well, you know, whether it's going to be enough, we're going to see when the markets respond to it tomorrow. but the fact that they went beyond the $250,000 statutory limit and said depositors are going to be kept whole, you know, is a -- is both a sign of how concerned they are that this could spread, but also how difficult it is, really, to draw that line. whatever the law says, you hear the argument that unless we cover all the losses for depositors, that there is the risk of this becoming a kind of domino effect in the economy. in some ways reminiscent of 2008. the difference, of course, they're saying they're not going to bail out shareholderers or management. it will be interesting to see how they try to execute that inclination. >> yeah, and jessica, what are the legal ramifications of the silicon valley bank problems right now? of course, what impact will this likely have on the week ahead?

>> so we don't know the full legal implications, but i think ron's exactly right that they're not looking at that $250,000 legal limit. they're really looking at the political implications here, and they're trying to stop the potential bleeding. so what's going to happen in the week ahead? either it will be the story of this bank or there will be, if there are more banks, then suddenly it becomes a really jittery -- it becomes jittery for people who have money in the bank, maybe more than $250,000. i think the biden administration wants to be careful to contain this, to make it a day or weekend for story, not a week-long story. >> and i do want to turn to another issue that we're watching very closely. ron, former president donald trump's latest legal woes. some critics suggest that the stormy daniels hush money case is the weakest of all four investigations into trump. and so any charges filed in this case could actually undermine the other investigations,

perhaps play into his persecution narrative. what is your reaction to that? >> i think people have made the point that the manhattan d.a. is trying an unusual legal strategy here. you know, which is -- you know, you don't necessarily want to be trying out your new approach for a former president potentially big the first time indicted ever. i actually think these things are operating on separate tracks. you know, from kind of thinking about it in terms of the political calculation, it's an interesting question how this will be received by a republican primary electorate. a year ago, i think there was a general sense among republican professionals that any indictments against trump would cause a rally around the flag kind of impulse, people would be more likely to support him. after republicans had such a disappointing midterm in large part because of voter fatigue with trump and the candidates they selected, there are republicans now who believe that, in fact, if he does get indicted, particularly in one of the more sweeping cases out

there, that it will reinforce the concerns of republicans that he is too damaged to win. so i don't think we know exactly how voters are going to respond to this, but it could be much more complex than a simple, they're out to get him, i'm being persecuted, therefore vote for me. >> jessica, your reaction from a legal perspective to these investigations? >> i think what ron said is exactly right. you don't necessarily want to say "novel legal theory" and "first time to ever charge a former president." when it comes to the specifics of the new york case, probably two charge. one, falsifying business records. talking about that hush money at the same time that michael cohen made on behalf, apparently, of donald trump in order to basically kill the story of stormy daniels having an affair with the now-former president. so one is falsifying business records. the other is a violation of the state election laws.

and in both cases, i think it's a bit of an uphill climb. when it comes to falsifying business records, typically that's a misdemeanor. it's only kicked up to a felony if you hook it to the intent to commit another crime, and that's where the election fraud comes in. i don't think that this particular theory has been tested in other cases. and so for those reasons, in addition to the fact that there are some questions about the statute of limitations, for instance, i'm not sure that this is the strongest case to move forward on. if you look at the other cases, if you look at the mar-a-lago case, the case in georgia, even some of the january 6th cases, i think those are stronger. >> right. and ron, let's look at all of those investigations. where do they stand, and how might ron desantis use them against trump if and when he officially declares his 2024 run for president? >> yeah, we don't know the timeline.

certainly georgia seems the furthest advanced. the first special grand jury is finished. the d.a. is deciding whether to present charges to another grand jury that would have the authority to actually bring indictments. look, i think desantis is very clearly positioning himself to offer republican voters trumpism without trump. he is identifying himself as a kind of unreserved culture warrior, unremitting culture warrior. he's talking about the woke mob and "wokeocracy," a mouthful to sell to anyone not watching fox 14 hours a day. the core message of desantis is, i will give you all the cultural confrontations that you like about trump, i will take on all of the forces in society that you think are looking down on you, and i won't trail all the baggage that trump does. i'm not under investigation for hush money to a porn star. that is, i think, his corbe bet

and his core appeal to the republican electorate. while he's unlikely, i think, to make much hay of these potential indictments, they are certainly the underpinning of his potential campaign. >> jessica, trump is still king, of course, within the republican party. but has his vulnerabilities, clearly. canada san advertise overthrow trump, or will his former advisers now helping trump, will they have enough dirt on florida's governor to keep him from threatening trump's party nomination? clearly trump sees desantis as the biggest threat, doesn't he? >> i think it comes down to exactly what ron said. do you want trumpism without trump? if the republican electorate does, then they have a clear choice. i will also say, of course, at this point, it's very early in the election cycle. so we don't know how things will shake out. i mean, there have been so many times, and of course ron knows this better than anybody that

we've been having a conversation like this, this far before a presidential election, and things change dramatically as we move closer to the primaries. >> yes. >> president john glenn, president scott walker, president pete wilson. we've definitely been on this ride before. >> absolutely. thank you to you both, as always. appreciate it. a classic master piece has gotten a makeover courtesy of modern technology and has sparked debate about artificial intelligence changing the face of art. laila harrak has details. >> reporter: this is the real thing. johannes vermeer's "girl with a pearl earring," drawing admirers at a special exhibition of the artist's work in amsterdam. while the famous painting is on loan until april, the museum in the hague where the work normally hangs decided to fill the empty space by asking people to recreate the masterpiece in

their own style. they got close to 3,500 submissions, and maybe more than they bargained for. >> the youngest applicant was 3. and the oldest was 94. and we had enormous variety of materials. it was crayon, paint, textile, flowers, it was an explosion of creativity. >> reporter: one work in particular is getting a lot of buzz, a definitively modern take on the classic featuring glowing earrings on an eye-popping interpretation of the original -- made with a.i. technology. >> we're not here to discuss -- we're not the museum to discuss if it's -- if a.i. belongs in a museum or not. i mean, for this project, this specific project, we liked it.

>> reporter: the create history submitted the image says he used an a.i. tool which generates pictures based on a prompt, using samples of millions of images collected from the internet and photoshopped. its inclusion in the exhibit is dividing museumgoers. with some critics saying it's an insult and arguing a.i. technology breaches the copyright of real-life artists. the museum says it's not making any statements on a.i. >> i go to a modern art museum or contemporary art museum, i see the weirdest things. which are considered art. so it's such a difficult question. what is art? what is not art? >> reporter: it's an age-old question. one that even the great masters faced. but the beauty or truth of art may be best answered in the eyes of the beholder. laila harrak, cnn.
